Four girls, each living in a different era – from the last century to the present – reside in the same place: a four-sided farmhouse in the German Altmark. Through their eyes, we gain direct insights into their everyday lives. Yet, no matter how diverse their experiences are, beneath their associative flow of images, increasingly discernible connections emerge: patterns of repetition. Four decades of summers gradually merge into an eternal summer, an everlasting now. The film explores what endures within us through the ages, what shapes us, and perhaps even gazes back at us from beyond time, from the future. After extensive research, a screenplay has been developed that delves into the inner experiences of these four girls. In free association, the film shifts back and forth across different times, capturing fragmented personal observations and memories of the characters. It feels as if we are thrown directly into their lives, as if we could see through their eyes. Gradually, the footage assembles before us into a collective stream of memory – a tangible, physical remembrance of ancestors. Images of past experiences suddenly reappear as distorted reenactments in different eras, plunging the characters into a déjà-vu-like trance.
